Angela Marilyn Smith (aka Susan Joy Kauten, Joy, Sue, Cedar, Trust, Hope) (1954-2005) was murdered January 9, 2005, in Tucson, Arizona by Ricky Rodriguez.

Born Susan Joy Kauten in Washington, D.C., and raised in Virginia, Smith graduated at Edison H.S., Fairfax Co. She worked in the David Berg household as a secretary and played a limited role in the sexual abuse Rodriguez endured. She also served for many years as executive secretary to Rodriguez's mother, Karen Zerby, and in 1997 she served as a director for Family Care Foundation (FCF).

"My husband and I kept telling her to get out of the group," Smith's mother, Jo Kauten, said in a tearful conversation from her home in Winchester, VA with Mercury News.

Angela is survived by her mother Jo Kauten; brother John, Jr. and sister-in-law, Tina; nieces Chrissy and Jennifer of the Winchester and Arlington, VA, area; her aunt and cousins in the San Jose, CA, area; and her partner, David, of Palo Alto, CA. Her father, John Sr., passed away last year.
